Visual Spice creates a 7-foot tall papercraft Gundam, films the entire process as a timelapse (video)
Believe it or not, the massive seven-foot Gundam you’re looking at was mostly constructed out of paper — 720 sheets, to be exact. The papercraft artist behind the model, Taros Lesko (aka Visual Spicer), began creating it nearly a year ago, and estimates that it took him about 350 hours and four to five months to complete. As explained on his video commentary, the process started with building a store-bought model for photographs, using the shots to render it in 3D on his computer. After that, he created various templates using a variety of programs, which were then printed, cut and assembled into place. Notably, the final product has 1,250 total parts, weighs in at about 10 pounds and packs an internal 12-piece foamboard skeleton to stand. All of that is only the part of the final product, though.
Taking it a few steps further, he created a bevy of “fantasy shots” (like the one above) with his brother, Ivan — and of course, Photoshop — and even filmed both endeavors as timelapse videos. According to Taros, the aim was to make something “bigger and better” than the four-foot papercraft Gundam, which he made nearly three years ago and burned to ashes on video prior to this project — we’d say mission accomplished. You’ll find the construction timelapse video after the break, along with more related vids and photos at the source link below.

Electronic Donor Wall: A Way To Say Thanks In Style
Showing the names of people and setups that helped build a new school, erect a new monument, or fund a program is a vital way to recognize and thank individuals for their contribution. During the past, these displays often involved plaques or framed photographs on the wall. Changes in donor status or the addition of new donors meant extra expense for new engravings, rearrangement of wall mountings, or the purchase of new plaques. With an electronic donor wall, changes can be made on-the-fly, and the display can be made more creative and interactive.
An interactive donor wall can involve a few computer monitors. These slim monitors can be hung on a wall or inserted within the display itself. Info, graphics, and photos can be added to the display from a remote computer. New donors can be added into existing displays and photographs can be included in slide shows on the screen. People will be drawn to view the display, and contributors to deserving causes will get more notice than they do when masses of names are shown on matching gold engravings.
A great thing about using an interactive donor wall is that the organization can be imaginative in their approach. If a fundraiser event is in process, graphics showing how much has been raised can be included. Photographs taken across the development of a building can be used to make a slide show, permitting viewers to see the history of a project. Hand-written thank you notes can be scanned and displayed, giving details on how contributions managed to help individuals.
An electronic donor wall displayed in an area with lots of traffic may become part of the scenery after time. Individuals will be less likely to notice it after the initial few times they go by. In order to keep awareness of projects fresh, organizations can make seasonal or regular changes to these walls. Adding engaging facts, holiday themed backgrounds, and additional pictures may catch the eye of someone that has seen the wall before. Drawing people to read about impending events, and fund-raising success can create greater contributions and collaboration.
An electronic donor wall can supply interactive and entertaining information to the public while recognizing people who gave their money or time to an organization. These displays take up less space, are less difficult to maintain, and can be cheaper than standard donor walls.
Give your member the recognition they deserve with a donor wall. Rise Display also offers an interactive donor wall.
